Networking and windows xp . My problem

I use Windows xp pro + sp3 , spanish version.

At the present moment I have a problem I don't know how to solve. I think I have tried the microsoft tech help online without success.

Basically in my net I can't open this folder (and other more...) from the other terminals.
This folder is in my portatil.

C:\Documents and Settings\JOSE

I have tried sometimes in the past. No success.
What Am i doing bad ?
I am ready to try this time beginning from zero.

What tools can I use to determine this problem ?

Best Regards

Your trying to open that folder from a network share?

This is always related to the file permissions that are set. Have you checked those yet?

In the past I have revised I supposed almost everything.
I am the only user and administrator : JOSE
the same user in the three pc.
If you put a link step by step I can try. Or a software to test the connection of the local area network.

I am searching for documentation about Administrator rights and permissions.

I will comment.

I have activated the tab security under windows xp pro sp3 with NTFS.
This tab appear in every folder except the conflictives ones.
And additionally the folder have 0 bytes. But there is no problem. The folder has contains and is accesible from the original pc, but from the other terminals is not possible to access to this folder



So I can't vary nothing because the security tab don't appear.

This is the conflictive folder seen from the original pc (the portatil Acer)

In XP pro you have to turn off the simple file sharing to get the security tab.

It's done Shane. The problem is exposed above. Only the conflictives folders in one terminal seen by the others in the net present no security tab and 0 bytes.

[Shane]

Problem is I can only read English LOL

Can you post a screen shot of the permissions? Also when you changed the permissions did you put a check on the apply to child objects?

The problem seems partially solved.
Now I can enter everywhere, but my problems sending stickies over the local area network (Stickies is a program) or sending Ditto clips continues (Ditto is other program for organizing clips and send clips to other terminals in the local area network)

My solution was :
Suppose that I have changed something in the past. By example the password of the administrator user in the portatil. And therefore have problems by that reason. (I only have password in the portatil because I need to use Cobian Backup in that terminal with the net)
As I continue without enter in the conflictive folders and don't see the security tab, observ 0 bytes in those folders (and have other folders and files with no 0 bytes at all.....) and received denegated access invoking administrator privileges i decided (i never have made changes in the privileges.....):
Enter in secure mode with net access.
The system asked me for the user and password when I try to enter in the first folder of other terminal.
I alway propose my name : JOSE, but the system propose me the terminal name\JOSE. By example     Acer-a04555092b\JOSE
Then the password, and click remember, and enter. In this way I could enter in the inaccesible folders.
For me the sympthon is that the asked user is the corresponding to the terminal where the target folder is, not simply the user in the terminal in use : JOSE. (This is was the all system need to know to solve the question......and why affects only some folders seems a bug of windows xp pro.....)

I have recovered partially the traffic originated by Stickies and Ditto, but the sendind and receiving from the Acer portatil continues failing.

I will try in the stickies forum and the Ditto forum and will inform you about the results.
Additionally perhaps we have to consider that the portatil acer have no internet connection - as you know- in the present moment . ( I have put a post in the ubiquity forum for ask about the possibility of a bullet with loadbalancing and failover services).

The router you recommend me have a high price, but with alfa 2 usb device I can do failover. And I don't know if the bullet have that possibility too......

Best Regards

P.D. The come back way is no possible. If I put off the security tab the problem reappear. Even in secure mode.



 

secure = safety mode ....

[Esgrimidor]

Owww the bullet is only a "Revolutionary Outdoor Radio Device "
So I will need a router at least with one WAN input and failover feature.  If have load-balancing much better.

What about the price Shane ?

[Shane]

There are so many different options. The netgear was just one that I have used before and has a good warranty.

You can find others for a smaller price, but you will need to shop around to find one you want for the price and that does what you want.

Shane

[Esgrimidor]

Is Load-balancing only possible when you received two signal through a multiple-wan router ?
I suppose so.
Then your router is an option.
I only need have the money then......
 

[Shane]

Yeah Load-balancing requires 2 connections.
